Microsoft has just revealed everything included in its Black Friday sale. It includes some discounts on games, controllers, consoles, and more, plenty of which are now live. But, we've found a few extra early Black Friday deals we want to share with you today as well, including a top discount on Xbox controllers currently down to just $34.95 using a unique promo code. Here’s a breakdown of the best offers for Xbox running now through Black Friday and beyond.
Best Xbox Black Friday Deals
Microsoft has officially announced big savings on digital Xbox and PC games, running now through December 2. You can enjoy up to 55% off select digital Xbox games and up to 60% off select PC digital titles. There are big deals for games like FC 25 ($34.99), Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred ($29.99), Star Wars: Outlaws ($52.49), and more. If you picked up a discounted Xbox gift card this week, this must be music to your ears!
While these deals are focused on digital content, expect even more discounts when retailers like Amazon launch their Black Friday sales on November 21, with additional offers rolling out on Black Friday itself, November 29.
Black Friday Xbox Bonus Offers
- Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred Editions: Buy any edition and receive a $5 Xbox gift card and the Sound of Slaughter Bundle.
- EA Sports College Football 25 Editions: Includes a $5 Xbox gift card and 500 College Football Points.

Xbox Black Friday Controller Deals
It may not be the flashiest Black Friday deal, but it’s a straightforward bargain for those in need of an Xbox controller. Use code TWENTY at Woot to snag a Carbon Black Xbox Controller for just $34.95—a steep drop from its $59.99 list price. The catch? This deal is only available for one day (November 15), so act fast before it’s gone. Otherwise, there are plenty of other colors to choose from at Lenovo for $39.99 instead, just use code PLAYXBOX at checkout.
Xbox is also officially discounting controllers from November 21 through December 2, and December 13 through December 22, but it's only $10 off. You're likely to find better deals now, or at other retailers in and around Black Friday itself. Also, from November 28 – December 5, there's free engraving on Xbox Design Lab controllers.
Xbox Series X/S Black Friday Deals
If you’ve been eyeing an Xbox console, the 1TB Carbon Black Series X is currently $50 off, bringing it down to $448. Microsoft has confirmed this $50 discount will last until at least November 23, so you've got until then to grab the deal. From November 21, we'll see some deals on Xbox Series S start to appear as well (at least $50 off).
Best Xbox Game Pass Black Friday Deal
EDITOR'S NOTE: This Woot Xbox Game Pass deal is currently out of stock, but Woot often brings deals like this back often, so keep an eye out for more discounts in the build up to Black Friday on November 29. We'll certainly keep you updated if this changes, so bookmark this page or follow us @IGNDeals on Twitter/X or Bluesky.
One of our favorite Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deals has returned at Woot, providing another opportunity for users to stack their membership at a discounted rate. You can get three months of the service for just $29.19, today only with code TWENTY. Even after this code expires, $36.49 for three months of Game Pass is pretty great as well, but only if the codes stay in stock!
Considering the new price of Game Pass Ultimate is $19.99/month, you're saving big with this 3-month deal. This is the best way to avoid the Xbox Game Pass price hike. By stacking these codes you can set yourself up for success to play all of their upcoming releases at a lower price.
When Is Black Friday 2024?
The actual date of Black Friday in 2024 falls on November 29 this year, but the deals season will begin a lot sooner than that (as seen with these Xbox deals). In other Black Friday news, Nintendo has also recently announced its sale plans for Black Friday, with discounts on Tears of the Kingdom, Joy-Con controllers, and more confirmed to be on sale in the coming days.
There’s also been plenty of speculation about what PlayStation fans might expect this Black Friday, including the possibility of a discount or bundle deal for the PS5 Pro. Alongside hardware deals, we’ve also considered which games are likely to see price drops soon.
